I Couldn't Care Less

The Worries

Back at school – Sehun, Tao, and Kris went around looking for Luhan, but the older boy was nowhere to be found. They tried calling him, but he didn't pick up.

After deciding that maybe Luhan just needed some time alone, they walked home.

"How did you guys know Luhan hyung and I were in there?" Sehun asked Tao and Kris.

"While I was waiting for Kris hyung, I saw Luhan hyung run in there, then you went in, and by the time Kris hyung came, we decided that the three guys that went in afterwards were up to no good. We were right." Tao scoffed.

"Do you think he's okay?" Sehun asked

"He'll be fine," Kris assured.

Sehun didn't feel assured though. "He didn't look fine when he ran out of the restroom crying...I'm worried he'll do something crazy."

Tao and Kris stopped walking. They turned to each other, unsure of what they just heard coming out of the maknae's mouth. Sehun, finally noticing that his hyungs were not next to him, looked back.

"What is it?" He asked, confused.

"You just said you were 'worried' about Luhan," Kris replied, eyes wider than usual.

"W-wh-what?" Sehun stuttered.

"Our maknae Sehun is worried about his Luhan hyung..how adorable!" Tao happily noted while clapping his hands.

"What's wrong with that?! He is my roommate. If I don't worry about him, who will?!?" Sehun replied defensively.

That Bambi is capable of doing reckless things..It makes sense that I'm worried about him..right?

Kris and Tao both laughed. They found Sehun amusing, but it only made him more flustered.

"What's so funny!?!"

"Listen Sehun. There is nothing wrong with being worried about your roommate, but we've never seen this side of you. You hardly ever talk about anyone else, let alone be 'worried' about them," Kris explained.

"Yeah. You don't really strike us as the caring type, so having you act like this is unusual. We didn't know you were close to Luhan hyung," Tao continued.Why is he emphasizing the word close?

"Y-you guys are ...weird!" Sehun retorted and walked on ahead.

"Aren't you worried about hyung's feelings?" Kris joked.

"Shut up hyung. Both of you."

"Kris hyung, Sehun is only worried about his Luhan hyung." He heard Tao tell Kris, but pretended he didn't. His hyungs pick on him too much. Yes..they're just picking on me.

It was late afternoon and Luhan still wasn't home. Sehun sat in the living room, at a spot allowing him to easily see what's going on outside. Seeing nobody walk up to the house, he furrowed his eyebrows.

He doesn't have to work today, so why isn't he here?..

Sehun sighed. He really wanted to talk to Luhan - to explain what happened today. But he won't be able to if the older boy doesn't even come home.

Feeling agitated, Sehun got up and started pacing back and forth.

When he gets here, I'll apologize for what happened... I'll tell him I was an idiot for not doing anything to help him, and I'll –

"Sehun? Why are you pacing around the living room?" A concerned Suho asked as he got in the living room.

"Huh? Oh...nothing hyung." Sehun waved his hands, hoping to convince his hyung that he wasn't preoccupied with thoughts of a certain hyung.
